OPENING FRIDAY

THE BROKEN CIRCLE BREAKDOWN: Belgium's foreign language Oscar-nominee is a drama that follows the seven-year love affair of two very different people through their mutual passion for bluegrass music, eventually having a daughter who radically changes their lives. (NR) http:///tribecafilm.com/tribecafilm/filmguide/brokencircle

GIMME SHELTER: This low-budget drama concerns a pregnant teenager (Vanessa Hudgens), fleeing her abusive mother (Rosario Dawson), rejected by her dad (Brendan Fraser) and forced to live on the streets until a stranger offers hope. (PG-13 for mature thematic material involving mistreatment, some drug content, violence and language — all concerning teens) http://gimmeshelterthemovie.com/

Love is still strange after 50 years: This week marks the 50th anniversary of the release of not only one of my favorite movies of all time — definitely in my Top 10 — but also, I think, one of the greatest films ever made: "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb." Not willing to take my word on how great Stanley Kubrick's antiwar black comedy classic truly is? It's number 10 at Rotten Tomatoes, right behind "Citizen Kane," as well as the site's top comedy. Metacritic ranks it at 27. Empire Magazine's "500 Greatest Movies of All Time" places it in the 26th spot. It's currently at number 42 on IMDb's list of the Top 250. The American Film Institute has it 39 out of 100. And Roger Ebert included it in "Great Movies."
